ipod accessoriesThe iPod is an amazing revolution in music delivery. It’s not the only mp3 player available, but it is one of the most accessorized.

Let’s take a look at some of the things you can do to give your iPod a sense of your own personality and style while allowing it to function in some pretty incredible ways.

Ear Buds

Sennheiser CX 300
You can settle for the in-ear headphones that come with your iPod, but you may find that an upgrade will be much more comfortable for long term use while providing substantially better sound. My personal preference is the Sennheiser CX 300.

Apple Universal Doc

This is a great device for allowing easy charging as well as syncing of every iPod in your home. It’s called ‘universal’ because it worked with all iPods and the iPhone. You can even connect the dock (and your iPod) to your stereo for hi-fi playback of your favorite music. Connect it to your TV to watch videos, movies or photos stored on your iPod.

iPod Hi-Fi

This device is a space saving system that allows you to take your primary iPod or better yet one that you may have replaced and allow it to become your home stereo system. It’s also portable and runs on batteries so you can take the music and share it.

iPod Jukebox

A company called Pacific Rim makes a full size retro jukebox with dazzling neon that can be placed in your family room and can accept your iPod as it’s main music player. Many enjoy a room filled with remnants of pop culture while integrating into the 21st century. This accessory does both for around $700.

Disko for iPod

This device is only $5 and it adds a mini lightshow that surrounds your iPod controls. It is motion activated and features multiple colored lights. It might give you the sensation of being in a 1980’s roller-skating rink or 70s discothèque.

Mixing Console for iPod

NuMark has created a mixing board that works with your iPod (iDJ2). If you are constantly ‘in the mix’ then this accessory minimizes space and maximizes possibilities. This unit is probably not for vinyl purists, but it’s size and function may convince many it is the future of mixing.

KickBack

When you want to watch videos on your iPod the Scosche KickBack allows you to provide a protective covering for your iPod with a built in kickstand. This allows hands free viewing of your music videos, movies, photos and TV shows when placed on a flat surface.


Apple Power Accessories

You may find that while traveling you don’t always have immediate access to a computer to recharge your iPod. Apple offers simple and innovative ways to power up using a combination USB/electric adapter that allows you to plug right into any standard wall outlet. You can also purchase recharging units that work with your car.

Armbands and Headbands

You can purchase genuine Apple armbands or even third party units (including head or sweat bands) that allow you to have ultimate freedom during workouts to enjoy your music without wondering what to do with your iPod.

Waterproof Case

H2O Audio Waterproof Case
Want to surf or swim while listening to your iPod? The H2O Audio Waterproof Case will allow you to do just that. This product can be submerged in water up to 10 feet and the waterproof headphones can allow you to listen to music while you swim.

The possibilities with an iPod are endless, but this article was designed to focus on an equal mixture of practical accessories with a few that are fun and unusual. There’s no question people are listening – iPod just presents multiple choices in how they do it.
